[Dovecot] possible quota bug ?
by fernando.figaro＠uol.com.br 31 Mar '14

31 Mar '14

Hi, I'm using dovecot 2.2.5 with quota (maildir backend), zlib and expunge plugins. When I list maildirsize file, I get: 1073741824S 17952 16 If I receive a new message (example: 1204 bytes compressed and 2524 bytes plain text), the quota file is write correctly (2524 1 entry). When I move the message to trash folder (or between user custom folders) the file have wrong entries: 1073741824S 17952 16 2524 1 1204 1 (this is the size of the compressed message) -2524 -1 I coudn't find any relation with the config settings causing this problem and checked the changelog since 2.2.5. Had someone had this same problem? Thanks, Fernando

[Dovecot] pop3 mailbox mirroring issues using dsync
by Nikolaos Milas 30 Mar '14

30 Mar '14

Hello, I have setup v2.2.12 to mirror mailboxes between our main mail server (vmail.example.com) and a failover server (vmail1.example.com) The problem I have is the behavior of mailboxes used on the main server (*vmail*) over POP3. I have setup an IMAP account on the failover server (*vmail1*) on such a mailbox: the mailbox is used on vmail using POP3 and the same is monitored on vmail1 using IMAP. It's mailbox *userx*(in Maildir format). I notice that all mail coming in userx mailbox on vmail, is correctly replicated on vmail1, but when it is downloaded from vmail over POP3 (and the mailbox there remains empty), the same mailbox on vmail1 is not updated to be emptied (automatically) as well, but it is accumulating mail forever (which is real problem on the mirror server). Is there a setting to enable correct mirroring of a POP3 mailbox (to empty the respective mailbox on the failover server) when mail is downloaded from it or something else should be done in this respect? Please explain. I quote below the full current config on the main server.

[Dovecot] basic dsync wrapper for migration from another server
by Alan McGinlay 29 Mar '14

29 Mar '14

Hi, I cobbled together this somewhat shoddy Bash script to migrate email accounts from our Cyrus server to a new dovecot system. Feel free to use, or laugh at it as you wish :) #!/bin/bash ## # Migrate email accounts via IMAP from one server to another ## trap "kill 0" SIGINT workdir=/root/migrate # Load list of users into array. The file "migration_map" should contain one user(a)domain.tld per line. mapfile userList < $workdir/migration_map # Number of symultanious migrations num=10 index=0 # Loop over the array of user accounts function process_userlist { procs=$(ps aux | grep "dsync" | grep -v "grep" | wc -l) # Perform $num operations at a time for the length of the userList while [[ $procs -lt $num ]] && [[ ${#userList[@]} -gt $index ]]; do procs=$(ps aux | grep "dsync" | grep -v "grep" | wc -l) dsync -o mail_fsync=never mirror -f -R -u ${userList[$index]} imapc:& echo "procs: $procs user: ${userList[$index]} index: $index" let index++ done } # Until the userList is empty, keep going until [ ${#userList[@]} -eq $index ]; do process_userlist done exit 0

[Dovecot] struggling with dovecot v2.2

Hello all, Long time, no write :-) I am building a spanking, wonderful new mail server. I am very excited about this, since I am going to use the new dovecot v2.2.12 !! However, last time I did this (and documented it), I was working with v1.2. I consulted my notes and it seems there are huge differences between v1.2 and v2.2. So my question is, would anyone know if there's a "quick start" guide for v2.2 ? tia, s.

That's usually the cause of many problems I see with log entries like yours.

I just want it to be reasonably secure > and simple. You'll need to know these things in order to understand the problem. The essential difference, as far as your concerned, is that TLS (or STARTTLS or SSLv(some-number-I-forget)) starts out in plain text, then the client issues a command (STARTTLS) to commence the secure (encrypted) communication handshake, whereas SSL dives right in and expects the client to negotiate SSL parameters immediately. These two variations of SSL listen on two distinct ports. If you get these cross up, you'll get the above error log. In my experiments: SSL client -> TLS server port: Aborted login (no auth attempts) TLS client -> SSL server port: client hangs, Disconnected: Inactivity (no auth attempts in 180 secs) SSL/TLS + clear-text password is secure. If you do not use SSL/TLS, you'll have to use CRAM-MD5 or some challenge-response authentication to defeat password snooping. You could use both, but that's overkill.

Hi, I am trying to setup dovecot replication based on: http://wiki2.dovecot.org/Replication All mailboxes share the same UNIX userid ('vmail'), and I setup ssh-key based login for this account in both directions. As LDA exim4 is configured to use dovecot deliver LDA. Here is the relevant config from exim: /usr/lib/dovecot/deliver -d $local_part -f $sender_address -a $original_local_part@$original_domain When a message is deposited to a mailbox, it does not get replicated. The log is silent: Mar 25 15:00:20 mx02 dovecot: master: Dovecot v2.2.9 starting up (core dumps disabled) Mar 25 15:01:05 mx02 dovecot: lda(user.name): msgid=unspecified: saved mail to INBOX The output from doveconf -n is attached. Any help is appreciated, Thanks, Milan.

[Dovecot] %{orig_user} missing in checkpassword-Script
by dovecot.pkoch＠dfgh.net 27 Mar '14

27 Mar '14

Hi everybody, I'm using SSL client certificates or checkpassword scripts to authenticate our users. If a user sent a client certificate from his smartcard my checkpasswort will ignore the password, if he does not sent a client certificate but uses his OTP-token then my checkwassword script will check wether the password is a correct one time password. My problem is: the AUTH_USER variable will either contain the username that was configured in the mailclient (if auth_ssl_username_from_cert=false) or the username from the certificate (if auth_ssl_username_from_cert=true). I would like to compare both values, i.e. the %{user} Dovecot-variable and the %{orig_user} Dovecot-variable. But the environment of a checkpassword-script has only one of them. Any ideas? I tried to change the source and found the routine where all the AUTH_xxx environment variables are created. But the %{orig_user] variable was empty at that point, so no AUTH_ORIG_USER variable is created. I'm afraight that whenever the %{user}-Variable is replaced by the UID from the client certificate (due to auth_ssl_username_from_cert=true), the original value of %{user} is NOT copied into %{orig_user} Can someone more familiar with the dovecot source check this please or give me a hint where to look further Kind regards Peter Koch

Re: [Dovecot] IMAP proxy with master user and CRAM-MD5 auth mechanism
by ML mail 26 Mar '14

26 Mar '14

Hi Trent, Thanks for your exhaustive explanation now it is clear. What was unclear to me was the fact that the IMAP proxy server has to take care of the authentication in this case of using a master user and therefore it needs access to the passwords (in my case stored in the mailbox table in PostgreSQL). I still have two open questions: 1) Do I really need the userdb on my IMAP proxy config as you mention in your mail? In my understanding the passdb should be enough (which in my case will use a SQL query joining the result of my proxy and mailbox tables). 2) Is this correct that the IMAP backend (the mailbox server) in this case scenario has to use PLAIN authentication and can NOT use CRAM-MD5? Regards,ML

[Dovecot] IMAP proxy with master user and CRAM-MD5 auth mechanism
by ML mail 26 Mar '14

26 Mar '14

Hello, I would like to know if it possible to have a dovecot IMAP proxy frontend where CRAM-MD5 can be used as auth mechanism (assuming I would be using a master user/password on the dovecot IMAP backend/mailbox)? I have read a few times the following http://wiki2.dovecot.org/PasswordDatabase/ExtraFields/Proxy page but somehow it is still unclear to me if the IMAP proxy then needs to have all the users and passwords in its proxy table in the database? Unfortunately there are no examples for that case. Also with this case scenario is it possible to store the users' passwords in CRAM-MD5 format? Any pointers or documentation to such a scenario would be great. Thanks and regards M.L.

[Dovecot] Trying to get Centos5 set up with dovecot
by DCA 26 Mar '14

26 Mar '14

Greetings, It seems I'm having some trouble getting this message into the list. I have used this dovecot list before. I am trying to set up dovecot to replace an older POP3 server in an existing set up. Currently the server uses sendmail to handle incoming mail. users are in /etc/mail and their incoming eMail lands in the /var/mail/username in /var/mail the username file is owned by username:mail I have dovecot configured to create the imap folders in /home/username/mail/ on existing accounts login attempts fail with errors such as: chown /home/username/mail/.imap/INBOX failed: Operation not permitted egid=500(username), group based on /var/mail/username mkdir /home/username/mail/imap/INBOX failed: Operation not permitted. Everything seems to work as expected but only if I add "username" into the "mail" group OR if I have all mailboxes chowned to username:username Is there any way to tell dovecot to ignore the group ownership of /var/mail/username and focus instead on using username:username for everything in /home/username ? If I have to add every user to the mail group I can but this seems messy. Thanks!

[Dovecot] Direct groups of users to pairs of backend servers
by Murray Trainer 25 Mar '14

25 Mar '14

Hi All, I am using dovecot in the Director setup with multiple proxy and backend mailstores and user information stored in LDAP. I am aware users can be directed to a single backend server. It would be useful to be able to direct groups of users to pairs of backend servers to give some fault tolerance against NFS issues and make the whole thing more scalable. Otherwise each backend mailstore will need all the NFS mounts and the whole cluster will be affected if one NFS mount has an issue. I am not sure if this possible with the current dovecot implementation? If not it would be a great enhancement. Thanks Murray

Dovecot uses the uses the native crypt() which ought to recognize $1$ hashes, but maybe try changing it to "{MD5-CRYPT}". http://wiki2.dovecot.org/Authentication/PasswordSchemes Joseph Tam <jtam.home(a)gmail.com>

[Dovecot] pb with setting quota_rule=backend quota=fs for quota-warning
by marion 25 Mar '14

25 Mar '14

Hello my config is debian wheezy with dovecot v.2.1.17-2., plugin quota /imap_quota is ok : I can read the real filesystem user quota for each different user with - doveadmin quota get - thunderbird - SOGo my problem is to configure quota-warning message : 1) if no quota_rule is defined then my dovecot-debug.log looks like Mar 25 18:28:02 imap(testuser): Debug:Quota warning: bytes=0 (80%) messages=0 ... 2) As soon as I set quota_rule = *:storage=1G , quota root is correctly defined, and quota-warning messages are sent according to the ratio I defined (cf below 90-quota.conf) with THIS limit (1G) , the same for all users and that’s not what I expect when I set individual quota... 3)And If define something like: quota_rule = * : backend (or backend=%q or …) dovecot definitively hangs with a) doveadm quota get -u testuser doveadm(testuser): Error: user testuser: Initialization failed: Failed to initialize quota: Invalid quota root quota: Invalid rule *:backend: Unknown rule limit name: backend b) even my login in SOGo hangs /var/mail/mail.err Mar 25 21:56:22 biwa dovecot: imap(testuser): Error: user testuser: Initialization failed: Failed to initialize quota: Invalid quota root quota: Invalid rule *:backend: Unknown rule limit name: backend Is there a way ( a variable ?) to link the real filesystem quota limit with the quota_warning process ? … something like quota_rule = *:storage=%VAR ? 90-quota.conf ------------------- plugin { quota_warning = storage=80%% quota-warning 80 %u quota_warning2 = storage=90%% quota-warning 90 %u } plugin { quota =fs } service quota-warning { executable = script /etc/dovecot/myconfig/quota-warning.sh unix_listener quota-warning { mode =0666 } } Thank you in advance best regards, Philippe ______________ Philippe Marion

[Dovecot] Getting second quota limit out of database
by dev＠stean.ch 25 Mar '14

25 Mar '14

Hello there, I am working with dovecot v2.2.12, and have setup a user and domain quota by using a quota/quota_rule for user and quota2/quota2_rule for the domain. This works fine when the limit configuration for both is stored inside dovecot configuration files. However, I would like to have the limits configurable on a user and domain base, and that data is stored inside my SQL database. Getting the user quota out of a database with SQL works fine, as documented with "SELECT whatever AS quota_rule FROM mytable", I extended my query to return quota2_rule too, but dovecot did not really do something with that value in the end, the domain limit was set to 0, as visible through the logs and with doveadm quota get ... Any idea or hint how I could get dovecot to read the limit for the domains out of my SQL database ? Thanks, Stephan

[Dovecot] mail-filter cannot work with large email about 700k
by boyd yang 25 Mar '14

25 Mar '14

Hi All I configured dovecot 2.1.7 with mail-filter plugin. It works well for small emails like server k big.(7k) But it failed with larger emails about 700k. The scripts hang out, and the mail-filter-out process does not exist and always in ps. It does not work even I use "cat" in mail-filter-out.sh. Where to set the size limit for mail-filter? Do you know how to fix this? This bug also exists in 2.2.12. Thanks!
